Stable manufacturing turnover
Seasonally adjusted figures show a stable development in the turnover in Norwegian manufacturing from March to May 2010, compared to the preceding three-month period.
Although the main seasonally adjusted figures remained unchanged, several industries showed lower results in the last three-month period. Among these industries were building of ships, boats and oil platforms, down 8.4 per cent. Machinery and equipment decreased by 4.8 per cent. The fall within these industries was in the export market. Repair, installation of machinery also showed a weaker turnover, down 10 per cent compared to the preceding three-month period.
Despite higher production volume, the turnover for food products and beverages fell by 3.2 per cent. This is partly due to lower turnover in the domestic market.
Conversely, industries with increased turnover included refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, up 5.3 per cent. This was mainly due to a boost in the production volume (see the index of production ). Basic metals went up by 10.8 per cent totally. The positive tendency for this industry was driven by a favourable combination of higher production volume and prices (see Producer price index ).
The turnover within the industries wood and wood products together with rubber, plastic and mineral products increased by 5.1 and 3.2 per cent respectively the last three-month period. Increase in the production volume contributed to this result.
Slight increase the last twelve months
Unadjusted figures show a slight increase in total manufacturing turnover, of 0.6 per cent from May 2009 to May 2010. The turnover increased by 16.4 per cent in the export market, but fell by 6.8 per cent in the domestic market.
Increased turnover from April to May
Seasonally adjusted figures show an increase in Norwegian manufacturing turnover, of 2.8 per cent from April to May this year. The major contributors to this result were building of ships, boats and oil platforms - up 26.4 per cent - and food and beverages, which increased by 6.6 per cent.
Lower growth than the Euro area
Unadjusted figures show that there was a 0.5 per cent increase in the Norwegian manufacturing turnover from April 2009 to April 2010. Manufacturing turnover in the Euro area went up 10.1 per cent in the same period, according to figures published by Eurostat .
